    This study reviews 404 cases of radiation colitis, primarily in cervical cancer patients. Most experienced rectal bleeding and bowel habit changes, with many requiring surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology
    • Radiation Medicine

    Context:

    • Radiation colitis is a significant complication following pelvic radiotherapy, particularly for cervical cancer.
    • The Hospital Oncológico "Padre Machado" has accumulated 20 years of experience managing this condition.

    Purpose:

    • To present the diagnostic and management experience of radiation colitis over two decades.
    • To analyze the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes.

    Summary:

    • A review of 404 patients treated for radiation colitis, with 98% having undergone treatment for cervical carcinoma.
    • The most common symptoms included rectal bleeding (71%) and altered bowel habits (27.2%), appearing 1 month to 1 year post-radiation.
    • Flexible sigmoidoscopy revealed Grade I/II actinic disease in 77.5%, while X-ray studies showed Grade II/III disease in 80%.
